February 2015
In sympathy for our friends the Cooksons who live in England, where winter is not particularly pleasant we booked a week of golf in Morocco. The first four days were on the outskirts of Marrakech and when we weren't on the course we went sightseeing: Pots for sale at a kasbah on the way to the Atlas Mountains.
Kasbah Tamadot
Leaving the red sands of Marrakech we drove through some fertile country to the coast to spend the last 3 nights in the Sofitel at Essaouira. The golf course was terrific and conditions ideal as it was not too hot. And of course the sunsets are sublime (it is Africa after all).
One of the great things about Europe is the proximity of so many different cultures and with low cost, one way flights it is easy to cherry pick cities, so we stopped in Madrid.
We love this city. It is compact, the architecture is superb with lovely parks, there are world class galleries like the Prado and Thyssen by day and the evening atmosphere, bars and restaurants are lively.
